Freeze-out of the gas-phase elements onto cold grains in dense interstellar and
circumstellar media builds up ice mantles consisting of molecules that are mostly formed in …

Despite the generally hostile nature of the environments involved, chemistry does occur in
space. Molecules are seen in environments that span a wide range of physical and chemical …

Icy grain mantles are the main reservoir of the volatile elements that link chemical processes
in dark, interstellar clouds with the formation of planets and the composition of their …

The origin of complex organic molecules (COMs) in young Class 0 protostars has been one
of the major questions in astrochemistry and star formation. While COMs are thought to form …

ABSTRACT We present 2.5–30 μ m spectra from the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer of the
Infrared Space Observatory for a total of 23 sources. The sources include embedded young …

Context. Gas-phase complex organic molecules are commonly detected in the warm inner
regions of protostellar envelopes, so-called hot cores. Recent models show that …

From the frontiers of research on ice dynamics in its broadest sense, this review surveys the
structures of ice, the patterns or morphologies it may assume, and the physical and chemical …

Dust is a ubiquitous feature of the cosmos, im**ing directly or indirectly on most fields of
modern astronomy and astrophysics. Dust in the Galactic Environment, Second Edition …

Several sulphur-bearing species have already been observed in different families of comets.
However, the knowledge on the minor sulphur species is still limited. The comet's sulphur …

Context. Gas phase Elemental abundances in molecular CloudS (GEMS) is an IRAM 30-m
Large Program aimed at determining the elemental abundances of carbon (C), oxygen (O) …
